Tomorrow or after tomorrow Sony should announce two new FE lenses:
I haven’t heard anything else about other companies announcing new mirrorless gear soon. All I got is some whisper about a possible Hasselblad X1DII announcement…but I have no confirmation yet this is indeed going to happen within June.
Dpreview:
Panasonic’s proprietary DFD (Depth from Defocus) autofocus system has both its critics and its fans, but Chris and Jordan think the system might have gotten a bad rap. In this episode they compare DFD to Canon’s Dual-Pixel autofocus system. Might the results surprise you?
On Monday at around 4pm London time Sony will announce two new lenses:
– The $14,000 600mm f/4.0 GM
– The $2,000 200-600mm f/5.6-6.3 G
There will be no new camera. The A9 successor is likely to be announced in 2-3 months from now!
The DPreviewTV team tested the new GFX100 (see video on top). I really do like this camera but the $10,000 price tag is a killer :(
GFX100 preorders:
In USA at BHphoto, Adorama, FocusCamera and Amazon.
In EU at Calumet DE, Park Cameras UK and Jessops UK.
And here are some more Fuji news you might have missed:

Fuji registered a new camera with the code name FF190002 here (via nokishita). Fujirumors is 100% sure this is the new X-PRO3 which is going to be announced in autumn.
Babylonbee (via Petapixel) writes that a Canon spokesman said:
“If you spend at least $599 on a camera, you’re instantly transformed into a professional photographer, and now you have the documentation to prove it. In a lot of professions, you have to take classes or practice for years before you truly become a professional, but not in photography. Just buy one of our budget to mid-range cameras, and you’re in.”
It’s a joke folks :)
